Oh ya, let me tell you a magnesium story (lol sorry- late Monday afternoon, I don't want to work anymore). The Ford trucks started coming out with Magnesium radiator supports about 5 years ago. Ford waited about 6 months before sending out an advisory or posting labels- some shop in Oregon started working on one without realizing that it was magnesium and the support started on fire and burned down the car and almost the hole shop.

*edit- I just realized this was my 1000th post- seems a little bit of a let-down for a post of such magnitude.
